FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), is the most famous way to transfer content to a web hosting account. Using an FTP application that is installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can set up a connection to your web hosting server and copy all of the web files that you need with a few clicks of the mouse. This is done using a simple-to-navigate graphical interface and it is as simple as dragging & dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is that you are able to set up separate accounts, each one with a different level of access to your server space, so if you must provide a 3rd party with access, for instance – a designer, they will be able to connect only to a particular folder and will not be able to view the remaining web content or any other information, such as personal details. Three prerequisites are required in order to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain or an IP, a user name and a password.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting plans will permit you to set up multiple FTP accounts with just a couple of clicks of the mouse through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to choose what website files and folders each one can connect to. There isn’t any upper limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you will be able to have as many as you want at any given moment. In case you would not like to use a certain FTP account anymore or if a designer has accomplished their job and you do not want them to access the website content anymore, you can simply delete that account. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to see all currently existing FTP accounts listed alphabetically, together with different options, which you can access with a click. You’ll be able to edit the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, and so on. We also have comprehensive help tutorials, which will help you administer your FTP accounts should you have to deal with any predicaments.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated hosting are amazingly powerful, which makes them ideal for hosting many Internet sites. Speaking of which, we have decided not to set a limit on the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a separate account for each website that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. All FTP accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with each and every semi-dedicated account. For any of them, you’ll be able to view the access path and to change it, if necessary. Furthermore, you can set up the account in an FTP client of your desire by downloading an auto-configuration file and running it on your computer, which will save you time. If you’ve never had a web hosting account previously, you can watch our elaborate how-to video clips, which are available in the very same Control Panel section.

FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting

The virtual private server plans that we offer will allow you to set up unlimited FTP accounts to administer the content of your websites. This is valid irrespective of which Virtual Private Server plan you purchase and which hosting Control Panel you choose upon signup – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia. In any case, you’ll be granted FTP access to the VPS without having to install any software, as an FTP server is part of the software bundle that comes with the Virtual Private Server packages by default. You can set up one FTP account for every domain or sub-domain that you’ve registered or even separate FTP accounts for a single folder – if you want several individuals to be able to connect to the web content inside it with their own personal login details. With each of the Control Panels, creating, removing or editing an FTP account will take no more than several clicks through an intuitive web-based interface.
